The following is from the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office:
On February 27, 2024, at 1033 hours, the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force was conducting an enforcement operation.
The ICAC task force in Contra Costa County includes investigators from the Walnut Creek, Brentwood, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon, Concord Police Departments, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office, United States Secret Service, Homeland Security Investigations, and Inspectors from the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office.
Investigators went to a residence in Danville to arrest a suspect who solicited a detective posing as a 13-year-old boy for sex. The suspect, a 50 year old Hispanic male out of Fairfield, was arrested for arranging a meeting with a minor for lewd purposes (PC 288.4(b)), contacting a minor to commit a felony (PC 288.3(a)), attempted lewd acts on a child (PC 664/288(a)), attempted sending harmful material to seduce a minor (PC 664/288.2(a)(1), and resisting arrest (PC 148).
While being transported to the Martinez Detention Facility, the suspect attempted suicide by hanging himself. Medical aid was rendered and the suspect was transported to a local hospital. The investigation is ongoing.
So, why did they stop him? That end would have been good for everyone.
Are we sure it was suicide he was attempting?
Maybe it was attempted auto erotic asphyxiation….. the perv!
I’m glad he didn’t kill himself. He will get his due in jail!
He died while in custody.
Should have let him die. Wouldve saved taxpayers money and got rid of a POS. Now now hopfully he will go to prison and he will get his when he gets there. What a waste of air.
